have a set or 420/85r34 on a 390, no real test but seem ok, only fitted 8 months and for grip i would say better than the same size agrimax wax 7 years ago when we fitted set of them. our 390 will not be a test for wear or heavy work obviously just post driving, buckraking, and bit of wrapping and ploughing with 3f 12 inch, no hard work.
BKT or CEAT

A lot of tyre dealers saying Alliance agristar are as good or better than BKT but less money. They do look good but I remember years ago when they were shockers

From what i've seen the Alliance Agristar is about 800€ cheaper for full round than Bkt. Decent saving i think. Trelleborgs cost an eyewatering 9k€/round. Vredestein costs around 6,5k€/round. Bkt 6k€/round and Gri and Alliance 5200€/round.

540/65R28 and 650/65R38, so largeish. Prices do iclude vat.
We had a set 15+ years ago, so cannot comment on todays performance. Back them they went bald in two years, but they were also cheap.

They're owned by Yokohama now and supposed to be very good but I don't know anyone who has tried them

How do bridgestone wear? They look to have a lot deeper lug starting off anyway

The Bridgestone vx has supposedly been developed the ultimate roadwork/contractors tyre and likely aimed at the traditional Michelin market. Whether they are as good as they say I've no idea but they are wanting us to think they are.

Seems difficult to get prices

Might be like a lot of others and difficult to get stock so no point pricing?

Got quite a few BKTs up to now I've never had a problem. Can't comment on CEAT
i’ve just ordered x2 CEAT from
www.marketplace.farm for one of pur grain trailers - cant get michelin at the moment but CEAT were half the price anyway and 2/3rds the price of the BKT option
will let you know if they are any good !

Fitted some 650s on my 6930. Tyre fitter said they were really had to fit but he said were twice the tyre of the cheaper brands.
whats the load rating on those tyres, it should be written on them. I wonder what the load rating is on the cheaper brands
